Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

From the parking lot, walk east through the village to the edge of the forest. This is where your trail towards Älpele begins, which crosses a forest path twice, leading you up to Hochstanzer Älpele at 1744 m.
Your path loses itself here in the meadow, aim for a tree slightly to the right of the summit fall line from the hut and after about 50 m you will meet the good path again. This crosses the western slopes of the summit and you have to overcome some rugged sections that lead you to the meadows of the summit structure called "Mahd" and up to the N ridge and over this to the summit.
